Chronic severe mitral regurgitation is a surgically correctable disorder. Advances in cardiac surgery (including mitral valve repair and less invasive operations), a low postoperative complication rate, and improved long-term prognosis have reduced the threshold for surgical referral. Choosing the optimal timing for surgery remains the cardinal problem.

Degenerative mitral regurgitation
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2020Purpose of review Degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality with surgical mitral valve repair remaining the gold standard for the treatment of severe disease. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances in the understanding of DMR as well as the progress

Quantitation of Mitral Regurgitation
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2011Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most frequent valve disease. Nevertheless, evaluation of MR severity is difficult because standard color flow imaging is plagued by considerable pitfalls. Modern surgical indications in asymptomatic patients require precise assessment of MR severity.

Secondary Mitral Regurgitation
New England Journal of Medicine, 2020Whereas primary mitral regurgitation (MR) is due to a structural or degenerative abnormality of the mitral valve (MV) or adjacent structures, secondary or functional MR occurs in the absence of organic MV disease, usually resulting instead from left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Summary: The occurrence of significant mitral regurgitation without the characteristic auscultatory signs, particularly the holosystolic murmur and the third heart sound, is unusual. It becomes of considerable importance when it occurs in combined lesions of the mitral valve, and more so in those areas where the treatment of mitral stenosis is by ...

Evaluation of Mitral Regurgitation
Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides high-resolution images of the mitral valve apparatus, permitting detailed evaluation of its structure and function. Mitral valve evaluation is invaluable during mitral valve repair surgery, providing insight into the mechanism of valve dysfunction and formulation of a plan for repair.

Ischemic mitral regurgitation is the regurgitation seen with structurally normal valve leaflets that occurs in approximately 20% of patients after myocardial infarction and 56% of patients with congestive heart failure caused by ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

Functional Mitral Regurgitation
Cardiology in Review, 2010Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common clinical entity which will likely increase in the future due to predicted demographic changes. It is also associated with poor long-term survival. The anatomic structure of the mitral valve apparatus is complex and consists of several components, each of which can be affected by a variety of diseases ...

The mitral apparatus is a complex structure composed of several components, each of which can be affected by a variety of diseases, resulting in mitral regurgitation. The physiologic consequences of mitral regurgitation include reduced forward stroke volume; increased left atrial volume and pressure; and reduced resistance to left ventricular ejection.

The Murmurs of Mitral Regurgitation
Diseases of the Chest, 1969Not all murmurs of mitral regurgitation are holosystolic. Occasionally, the patient with mitral reflux will demonstrate an early systolic murmur, a late systolic murmur or a mid-systolic murmur. Rarely, a systolic murmur is absent. We have also described a patient with silent mitral regurgitation and a short diastolic rumbling murmur.
